Participants will receive high-touch, personalized attention in their exploration of the Five Practices of Exemplary Leadership® by Kouzes and Posner. These five fundamental practices are always present during extraordinary leadership achievements: Model the Way, Inspire a Shared Vision, Challenge the Process, Enable Others to Act, and Encourage the Heart.

According to Katie Hunlock, Vice President, Premium Audit, Travelers, the "Five Practices of Exemplary Leadership® have been key for me in my professional career. By ensuring I am "Modeling the Way" for my teams and by "Enabling Others to Act," I have been able to build a safe work environment of trust, respect, and support. This allows us to remove barriers and ensure we achieve our goals and understand our opportunities. Not only are these principles important at work, but I have been able to incorporate them into my personal life as well. "Encouraging the Heart" has become a principle we practice at home, giving every family member a sense of accomplishment and together celebrating their successes."
